So, this guy Jose "Pepe" Tena who was piloting the helicopter that crashed wasn't just a 60 year old flying a helicopter with the general manager of Standard Hotel Hollywood and the regional financial officer or whatever of the Standard company. He was also, it appears, the CEO of Ferrado US, which now owns the Standard Hotels, and a whole bunch of other hotels across the world.

He also started this app called "Livby", and he seems to have been connected with the helicopter company. He has about 7 or 8 companies registered under his name. There was a court case with an insurance company that Ferrado sued, apparently because they wouldn't pay because they claimed that Ferrado was really owned by a company in Spain.

So, whoever decided to kill the people in the helicopter, I doubt they were just trying to kill the general manager of the Standard Hotel Hollywood, and just accidentally took out the CEO of the whole company.
My guess is this guy is connected to a lot of people.
If somebody else already posted all this information my apologies. So many threads since last night!
